Besides Rebecca Lee's absurd claim that SQ pilots' salaries are higher than those of CX's pilots, what boggles my mind is her statement that, if the overseas-based SIA pilots were preferentially laid off, SQ "which derives 80% of its income from outside Singapore, may find itself shunned by travellers unhappy with its discriminatory labour practices".
The average airline traveller has only a vague idea of the aircraft type he/she is flying on, much less a knowledge of the airline's hiring practices.
Give me strength....
